Vase

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The vase by artist is a black and white photograph of a vase, flared mouth that tapers to a narrow neck, two small handles on either side. The vase body features a bulbous bottom that tapers towards the top. The vase has a pattern of swirling lines and four white floral motifs. A small ruler-like object with measurement markings and text reading "THE METROPOLITAN MUSEUM OF ART" are below the vase.
